Famous quotes containing the words original and/or publication:
“It is conventional to call “monster” any blending of dissonant elements.... I call “monster” every original inexhaustible beauty.”
—Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
